The Lexical Approach.

The Lexical Approach.

This approach is a way to teach vocabulary. Lewis (1993) said:"...Language is
grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar...". In other words, lexis is central
in creating meaning.

In this approach is very important the vocabulary more than grammar, because
without words can not say anything.

processes of human being the opportunity to learn to be a critical with reference

CRITERIA.

COURSEBOOK.

REFLECTION.

We think that Chilean reality offers four hours for the Ennglish subject, so, the aims or objectives are too ambitious.

In the first unit, the reading activity is focusing a very passive skill, because there are ways in which the students without understanding what his reading can guess the correct answers (drawings).

We think that this book is not appropriate for an eights middle schools, because the morphosyntax content are too high (unit one contents, cover simple and complex sentences, simple present, simple past, present perfect, passive voice, connectors and pronouns.

On the other hand, we think that the focus of the book is centered in passive skills of comprehension and know skill for productions. Each unit present reading and listening comprehension.

The topics are interesting, and they enhance cultural values of our Chilean culture, example Gabriela Mistral is presented in Unit two and some national bands. All the topic are interesting, but there are too many for students. It is tiring at each of he modules. The teacher would have to filter some topics so as to motivate the student.

Maybe we would take out some pictures that would distract a boy from eight grade. They would pay too much attention to female figures instead of focusing in the contents and aims presented in the lesson.

The presentation is attractive, it has a lot of colors and uses a format where the students can write his answers straight in the book.

Maybe we would choose the most important tasks and leave some out, because we consider that there are too many activities for four hours a week.

In the pronunciation students do not practice the language enough, the same applies to grammar students can´t write a complete sentence. With the vocabulary is enough too.
